The Making of Going for the Gold

Read the exciting behind the scenes scoop on The Making of Going for the Gold, a Vivid Entertainment movie release about the alleged relationship between Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps and his former intersex girlfriend, Taylor Lianne Chandler.

According to her book, Taylor met her Olympian on Tinder last August. “It was like a teenage love affair,” she says. “I have never felt so comfortable and accepted in every way as I did with him.”

In <i>The Making of Going for the Gold<i>, Taylor, who was born with both female and male parts, takes the reader through the experience of being thrust into the limelight, the decision-making process to make a porn video and deciding to become a voice for those born with double genitalia. “I wanted to make this movie to celebrate this incredible time in my life and also to open the conversation about people born with both male and female genitalia so that there will be more education and understanding of what it’s about,” said Taylor.
